project that aims particularly in supporting the European Commision's i2010 Digital Library Initative by finding ways to identify rightholders, rights and clarify the rights status of a work including whether it is an orphan or out of print. This will enable libraries as well as other users to obtain information on who is the pertinent rightholder, which are the relevant rights concerned, who owns and administers them and how and where they can seek permission to digitise and / or make the work available to the user groups.
